Me and the boss (my wife) have stayed at this hotel and will be returning again in a few weeks’ time. As the previous review said, it is extremely well located next to Old Town which is great for an evening walk to a nearby bar or other establishment.
I think the daily parking charge is a complete rip off but most other hotels are now doing this so it appears it is the norm nowadays.
Located just off Highway 192, we found it very easy to get to Tampa, Clearwater, Miami and back again with no bother at all. It is quite close to many restaurants and sights and not far to drive to the theme parks.
We loved the pool at night and the racoons scavenging from the bins was cool!. We loved the racoons but the yanks hate them and class them as vermin. They are lovely to watch
The food from the bar at the poolside is ok and a pizza or chicken or whatever is on the menu and a beer, is most welcome after a heavy day sightseeing.
The boss thought Wallmart was great and that is just a couple of minutes away from the hotel as well
Would we go back? We don't normally but we are this time around. It’s not a four or five star hotel but the rooms and the staff are great
Go there with piece of mind and after all, it’s just somewhere to use as a base

Me & my family stayed here 18-09-09 - 02-10-09
As i kept in regular contact with the hotel leading to our vaction i didnt have any dissapointments upon arrival. Rooms were just about an adequate size for our party of 6 but i was already aware of this & lets face it ... we were out all day.
Our room was spotless, maids came everyday to ensure their jobs are done thoroughly so thats another thumbs up for me.
The free complimentry shuttle was a huge bonus too, as we dont drive we depended alot on this service & to be honest we wasnt let down once. The bus schedule runs from the hotel @
7.30 a.m UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE
7.30 a.m SEAWORLD & AQUATICA
8.40 a.m ANIMAL KINGDOM
9.40 a.m MAGIC KINGDOM
11.20 a.m EPCOT & HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
If your going to BLIZZARD BEACH or TYPHOON LAGOON my opinon would be to catch the disney bus from ANIMAL KINGDOM as its closest & the earliest to either of the disney parks.
Shuttles to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE, SEAWORLD & AQUATICA run an hour earlier than the disneyparks, slightly a little early i think as it was only a 15 minute drive from the hotel to SEAWORLD & AQUATICA & 25 mins to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE so we had at least a half an hour wait @ the gates. Return times back to the hotel were ...
5.15 p.m MAGIC KINGDOM
5.20 p.m ANIMAL KINGDOM
5.30 p.m EPCOT
6.00 p.m UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
6.15 p.m SEAWORLD
8.30 p.m HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
10.15 p.m EPCOT
11.20 p.m MAGIC KINGDOM
We loved to come back from the parks to spend time recovering around the pools in the evening & i must say the hot tub was refreshing. With a picturesque setting & well maintained gardens this again ticked the boxes for my family.
The free curtousy breakfast was a bonus too! varities of cereal waffles yogurts bread coffee juices & fruit were available, & in the far corner they served hot foods which was rotated every 4 days & consisted of
Boiled eggs & sausage
Egg & cheese omlette
Gravy & biscuit ( Chicken soup & dumplings to us brits ... yep ... in the morning! ... yuk!)
Ham & egg omlette
I couldnt really fault the food at all!
All in all we had a fantastic vacation & happy to say Comfort suites played a part.
We did have a couple of issues, one reguarding our departure as there was a slight misunderstanding on when we were leaving as they had us leaving on the thurs & we want due til the fri, but this issue was soon resolved the next day with the manger.
My other issue was with the 15 min per day free internet access on their computer. last week they had thunderstorms arriving, the receptionist clearly saw me trying for 10 mins to get access & when i asked her if its working she clearly said ..."Internet service has temporarily gone down". In my opinon 15 mins per day wasnt enough as the hotel was fairly empty let alone losing an extra 10 which could have easily been avoided. She could have gave us another password from another room but declined.
So ... thanks to the Comfort suites employees for making our vacation complete! ... (apart from the miserable receptionist that is!)

Medium size modern hotel with large spacious rooms. The rooms are not luxurious however for the price they are extremely good.
The breafast is self service and the food was very good. The pool is a very good size and great for relaxing after the parks.
The hotel is less than 5 minuters walk from Old Town which is great as it is a good place to take a stroll in the evening and a couple of fairly lively bars.
So if you are a family with a fairly tight budget then I would say this is a much better option than the cheap motels and hotels you will find on international drive.
